Just once will a team slow the ball down against Collingwood and make them defend. What’s wrong with going slower and longer into their defence when they have a hole in terms of size there?

I feel like we are all being forced to watch them play every weekend and hear all week about how they play, only to watch the games where it seems like the opposition coach has never seen their game plan before.

Slowing the game down will help them. You have to take them on, be fit enough to outrun them. 
 

A Cumberland sausage. Nice. 😋

It will take a defensively minded team like St. Kilda to unlock the key to beating the Pies. 

There time will come, its all helter skelter with them.

They have shown there hand way to early in my opinion.

Tigers are running. How long can they keep it up??

Might be a good thing if the pies go undefeated for half a year playing this brand of footy, it will definately take it's toll. No team is fir enough to play like this all year then in finals I don't care who you are. Would love to hear all the hype about them to see them go out in straight sets in the finals coz they are buggered.

Spot on. They will hit the wall.

Pies also go back off the mark, to get closer to where the ball is going, to help team mates and are being allowed to do it. That adds a player to a later contest.

Well well looky what we have here

Are you saying they prefer the 'outside 5' option vs standing the mark Mr Leg?

Or....are you saying they initially stand the mark then walk backwards away from it even if they oppo hasn't played on yet?

Wow. Richmond have kicked more Goals. 
That 2nd Quarter was one of the most dominant i have ever seen. But they couldn’t kick Goals!!

Amazing

I hope all these misses come back to hurt the pies like our misses hurt us last year in games

As good as Nick Daicos is and he is good, he can not defend.

Neither can Collingwood generally. I think to beat them you have to attack hard.

Tigers came out with a refreshed attitude and kicked straight. 

Looked a contest for a while but now Colonwood are kicking goals and (8.25 to go Q3) look like they have settled.

I hate Collingwood but I can't hate Pendlebury.

And just like that they've kicked away

How do you stop Collingwood?

Try and win the clearances and contested including contested in open play.  Make it an insane rugby style lock down stoppage game in the first half.

A run with on Pendles & Sidebottom.

A hard lock on N Daicos shared between two players...

The first player softens him up with close checking/heavy hitting in the first 2 quarters.  He is then subbed off for a slightly lighter tagger who can bring the heat but also great running ability going the other way to damage and make him spend  more energy defending.

This sucks 

i noticed in 2023 it’s worth not watching the first half of the game. mostly rubbish football 

Whatever happened to the dissent rule?

They only way. 
Out run them, they will keep going, slowing the game down is pointless 

Collingwood remind me of Melbourne in 21, not the style but the team buy in and pressure. I can’t believe people are still doubting them, they look like they will be better this year than last year.

Just have to turn it into the biggest boghole imaginable.

Can anyone explain why the umpires wear their fluoro yellow/green tops with dark grey/black shorts to Richmond games.

Happened in the carlton round 1 game as well, yet they wear blue to North Melbourne games....

Is it really that hard to wear different colours than the competing sides??? They have access to many coloured shirts

They need a few injuries. Would love Jack Crisp to get suspended
